Description
When you're on the go and deadlines approach, there's no room for compromise. Forged from high-grade aluminum and lightweight carbon fiber, the slim-yet-sturdy VAIO Z series notebook makes mincemeat of your workload without weighing you down.
Exclusive to the Z, the revolutionary Dynamic Hybrid Graphics System lets you easily set your graphics performance to deliver power when you need it and battery life savings when you don't. You can even select your performance level on the fly without rebooting using the unique 3-position switch. Changing from internal graphics to NVIDIA GeForce graphics with VRAM is unbelievably easy - or just leave it in auto mode and the Z will choose the best option for you.

From speed to stamina
Create in HD with super-slick NVIDIA graphics, then unplug and head off to your next meeting. Dynamic hybrid graphics automatically switches to Stamina mode using internal graphics to preserve battery life while away from your desk. Change modes yourself if you prefer using the three-position slide switch. -
Glorious pictures
There simply is no better screen in a notebook. VAIO display premium gives ultra bright pictures with the highest levels of color and contrast in a real-wide 16:9 format. It is perfect for viewing presentations and watching video with reduced black bars. Power efficiency is optimized with LED and an ambient light sensor.
